Meditation favours singularity by suppressing twofoldness. Therefore, since the world is dual, you cannot undo duality wholly.
From Duality Hack #5.6 in Alexius’ Duality Hacks.
Those who see themselves as unique beings making a difference look for particular thoughts to maintain their crooked perception. But thoughts speed up when you try to capture them, so soon, you meditate to slow them down. However, since that further manipulates thoughts, they hide in the dark, which you interpret as silence.
On the other hand, if you do not try to stop the speed of thoughts, they run faster and faster until they are at such a speed that you cannot separate them. Hence, they cannot define you as somebody separated from others, so nothing hides the formlessness of oneness. However, most meditating people like to make a difference, so they do not fancy oneness.

Most assume they feel upset because of the thoughts coming from the brain. But the distress comes from the attempt to edit the stream of thoughts. When a single thought is sought out, it generates a new stream. And if a specific thought is singled out from that, yet another stream emerges, and so on. It is like when you split a neutron from an atom nucleus, it sends out more neutrons all by itself, which splits and sends out more neutrons in a chain reaction.

Stopping all thoughts is like deleting everything on your hard disk. The virtual world displayed on your screen disappears. Therefore, if you want to experience something, do not wipe out thoughts from the brain, but perceive your reaction to them, for example, stress, as ‘it is what it is’. Since that reveals relaxation complements stress, you are in the constant interaction of opposites, thus feeling complete in the flow of thoughts. See Duality Hack #8.1-9.

The basic self does not feel disturbed by the gentle flow of thoughts from the brain. On the contrary, it loves to join it, thus serving the brain. But the special self does not want to serve but to master the brain. Hence, it feels disturbed by the brain’s thoughts, although there only are a few if it does not interfere and, therefore, are touched by their tenderness.

The basic self does not need relaxation or transformation through meditation, yoga, fitness, or whatnot. On the contrary, the basic self’s perception is in sync with the flow of thoughts from the brain, which is like a river of happiness. And since this sometimes makes the basic self forget what and where it is, it knows that it is nothing and, therefore, not transformable.
In contrast, the special self never forgets to be somebody. It always tries to become more and to be part of something greater. However, since that never turns out as expected, the special self settles for following someone who seems to improve their social status.

Those who believe in free will are easily manipulated into thinking they can control the brain. But you are bound to follow it – like a car is in the hands of the driver, you are in the brain’s thoughts.

Ultimately, the solution is to undo the belief in being someone who experiences something. Since that is the end of the self’s existence, the special self avoids it by meditating or something else that seems to confirm it exists.

The special self always looks for something to fix. Yet, it rejects the solution that would repair everything immediately, namely, not perceiving the brain as an enemy but as a friend. See Duality Hack #6.3 and #12.4. Then, everybody is fine as they are because the brain produces your experience of others.

The experiences the brain produces to make you feel like someone are comparable to Facebook’s news. Based on the information Facebook has gathered about you, it predicts what you wish to see. However, unlike Facebook, the brain has all your information, so the experiences it produces are you.

When the brain has scripted you to feel sexual lust, you will feel horny no matter what you believe in being. However, you will not enjoy it if you try to suppress your sex drive via meditation or tantra sex. See Duality Hack #1.11.
You try to restrict your only friend, the brain, by dividing its duality pairs into separate distinctive elements. For example, you suppress evil by meditating or projecting it onto others to appear solely good yourself, thus avoiding the brain’s tale of twofoldness.
Make no mistake: The brain is your best friend. You wanted to escape non-duality to have more than one, so it helped you by creating a duality fantasy. In its fantasy world, every experience comes is fabricated in pairs of opposing elements to ensure you always have more than one.
However, now you want to escape the brain’s domain. Therefore, you visualise having singular experiences by suppressing one part of the brain’s dualistic experience. For example, you suppress sadness to experience yourself as only happy instead of happy/sad. Many use meditation to get this singularity in a world of duality. They claim they want non-duality to disguise that what they want is to be the master of the universe.
If someone wants to undo the brain’s duality experiences, they do not need to sit in a specific way with their eyes closed. All they need is to respond to it neither singularly nor twofold but ‘donno what it is.’ They can do that wherever they appear. See Duality Hack 6.6.

The file used to download pirated music, a torrent file, does not contain the actual music. Instead, it links to many computers worldwide connected to the web. Each link downloads different fragments. For example, one link grabs the beginning of the music, another the end, and others the bits and pieces in between.
The files, chaotically collected and downloaded, do not sound like music until combined by an app on your computer and translated into the music you now believe is yours.
This description of what happens when you download pirated music is more or less a description of what happens when you believe in thinking something yourself. The thoughts you believe in having are downloaded from the brain.
It has many themes you can pick from. For example, you dive into the brain’s refreshment concept when you decide to have ice cream. It is stored unsystematic as bits and pieces of nothing to make them appear as something when downloaded to your awareness, which, like an app, combines them into samples of ice cream.
Therefore, thoughts are not yours. They are ‘pirated’ from the brain, pieced together from nothing to make it look like you are an individual developing your own thoughts.
There is no moment without the past and the future. For example, as in this photo, you must deal with both to keep the balance on a wheel. [Photo: Alexius]
The heart is a muscle from which blood transports oxygen to the body’s cells. But suppose you also experience something spiritual coming from the heart. In that case, you deceive yourself. More than 200 years ago, science discovered that all experiences are constructions of thoughts fabricated by the brain.

If you perceive the brain’s basic experiences of the world as dull, the special self tempts you with more fascinating ways of taking them in, for example, through the heart. However, this does not work. It is founded on eliminating the feelings you deem negative, such as sadness. Hence, you do not feel whole coming from the heart but incomplete. In contrast, going with the brain’s experiences, you feel as sad as happy, thus complete.

Oneness is not mystical, pure or anything else, as it takes more than one to be aware of something. Therefore, like everything else that calls for more than one, Alexius’ Duality Hacks is part of the illusion that it is possible to be and have more than One.
But since Alexius’ Duality Hacks uncover that illusion, you are exposed as nothing the more you apply them. Hence, there does not seem to be something to hide, there never was or will be more than One since it is formless, thus endless.
